History
Popular Front of Azerbaijan The founding congress of the party was held in July 1989. which eventually consolidated into a full blockade with the support of both the governments of Azerbaijan and Turkey: a blockade which persists today. Intellectuals associated with the party questioned the official Soviet narrative of the Soviet takeover of Azerbaijan in 1920. They were followed by another wave of repressions against the opposition. Consequently, PFPA first suggested and then proclaimed the unification of opposition as the surest means to free and fair elections. On 18 March 2005 Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA) signed an agreement with other opposition parties to establish a united opposition bloc – "Freedom" - for participation in the parliamentary elections in November 2005. == Election results ==
